my latest (almost) finish--get your sunglasses!
 

I've been saving strings since I started quilting 7 yrs ago. when i couldn't get to my Accuquilt because of the overflowing bags, I sorted them into brights, darks, lights and neutrals. I had a ton of black and this wild circle backing from my oops on the Display Challenge quilt for the KC Regional Quilt Fest. This is the result--I used Marathon Thread #50 trilobal gold for wild feathers in the brights and SoFine #50 black for Welsh border ruler work in the black. Now to get the binding on. this goes on my bed even though the DH is saying it's too bright to sleep (like that would stop him!)[ATTACH=CONFIG]580525[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]580526[/ATTACH]

What a kool quilt. Love the backing. BrendaK

Lots of strings make a pretty quilt. I like the backing too.

You are so right. It is bright.

VERY NICE I like how everything works together. The front and the backing

nice string quilt....I luv luv luv that colorful backing material too!!!!

Right on bright.................

How clever! Outstanding.

Fantastic! Love the strings, the black, and your quilting!!! And, the backing is dazzling! Flip that baby over and show that fabic on your bed! Your hubby will see spots until he falls asleep! Really, I love your backing fabric. So proud of you for not cutting it up into smaller pieces.

i love this!! i love scrsppy & black my fave color. almost all of my quilts will have black in them somewhere. my hubs would say same thing about the brightness as he lay down & immediately started blowing the roof off with his happy snoring :)

That's a great one!! Glad you can now find your Accuquilt. I just bought one and love it!
Your husband's comment made me laugh!! :)

Wow...this is the coolest awesome looking Quilt that I have ever seen...I love this. The Backing is so awesome too. Beautiful Job.

That is fabulous! I love how it all works with the backing.

Wow, I really like it and the backing is great.

Stunning. You have a lot of patience. Thanks for showing us.

Those brights look great paired with the black. And what awesome quilting!! WINNER!

Beautiful!! I love all those brights and your quilting is amazing!

The bold black stripes are a bit overwhelming. They almost block the eye from what's behind. You have such beautiful colors. I think would have chosen a softer color, and made the strips, perhaps, a bit thinner. Your backing is absolutely wonderful!

Very cool! Just sorted/cut my scraps and the string container is getting full, so I've been looking for string inspiration!

love that backing. I love it and don't think it's too bright.

Awesome quilt.

I love the bright colors!

Wonderful quilt! Love the backing fabric, it goes perfectly with your quilt top!

Not a thing wrong with the brightness. Not every quilt has to be boring.

It is a beautiful quilt and will be really great in the gloom of winter. You did a great job on it.

I think its pretty and I love the backing fabric.

What a "wow" quilt you've made! Great!

I think its beautiful! It would look great on my red bed - just in case your husband prevails, keep me in mind.

looks good

Love, LOVE your quilting on this. I recently emptied my string bin and have made 2 quilts using them.There's a lot of sewing in string quilts!

Whoa! Love it❗️Very cheery and happy!

I like the pattern. Lovely quilt.
